Amistades Peligrosas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
LA CABEZA UNA NORIA SIN PARAR DE GIRAR
UH DUERMEVELA, QUE CONTRADICCION
LA NOCHE UN INQUIETO SILENCIO, why SUENA EL RELOJ
DA VEINTE CAMPANADAS TEÃ?IDAS CON TANTO ALCOHOL
why QUIEN VA A FRENAR SI EL TIEMPO SE ACELERA
DUERMEVELA, DUERMEVELA QUE CONTRADICCION
FANTASMAS FURTIVOS DEMASIADO CAFE
UH DUERMEVELA, LUCES DE NEON
SON HORAS ROBADAS AL SUEÃ?O, why PASA EL CAMION
TRITURA LA BASURA INSOMNIO DE GRAN CIUDAD
QUIEN VA A FRENAR EL VIENTO QUE SE CUELA
DUERMEVELA, DUERMEVELA QUE CONTRADICCION
DUERMEVELA, NO ENCUENTRO MANERA DE PODER CUBRIR
ESE ESPACIO VACIO QUE DEJASTE AL HUIR
UH DUERMEVELA QUE CONTRACCION
LA CAMA ES TAN GRANDE SIN TI
DUERMEVELA, BAJO LA ALMOHADA
ESCONDO EL TRANSISTOR SINTONIZO EMISORAS BUSCANDO TU VOZ
UH DUERMEVELA SUENA UNA CANCION EL SOL INAUGURA RESACA
YA AMANECIO why EL GALLO SE PELEA CON EL DESPERTADOR
why QUIERO FRENAR why EL TIEMPO SE ACELERA
DUERMEVELA, DUERMEVELA, AQUI LLEGA EL SOL
DUERMEVELA DUERMEVELA...
The lyrics to Amistades Peligrosas's song Duermevela describe the struggle of insomnia and the contradictory nature of being awake when one should be asleep. The opening lines convey a sense of eternity and a never-ending cycle of sleepless nights and a restless mind. The singer compares their mind to a ferris wheel, constantly spinning and refusing to stop. The night itself is described as an uneasy silence, only interrupted by the sound of the ticking clock. The lyrics suggest a feeling of helplessness, as the person cannot control time even as they struggle to stop it from moving so quickly.
The second verse describes being in a waiting room until dawn, a place full of ghosts and too much coffee. The neon lights, stolen hours, and insomnia of a big city create a sense of chaos and restlessness. The lyrics imply that there is no way to stop the passing of time or control the wind that creeps in. The third verse switches to a more personal tone, describing the difficulty of dealing with the space left behind after a lover has gone. The bed is now empty, creating a sense of isolation and detachment. The singer describes hiding a transistor radio under their pillow, searching for the lost lover's voice. The final lines describe the sun rising and the struggle to slow down time, with the hope that sleep will finally come.
